5-7 PM
Sunfair Farm, Hudson, NY
Paddle Raise:
Following the auction, we’ll hold a paddle raise to directly fund two
of PTen’s most impactful programs. Every dollar raised will go straight to our work with girls in Hudson and beyond.
1. Reset:
PTen’s Personalized Support That Empowers Every Girl
Our one-on-one tutor, mentor, and advocate program is designed
to meet each girl where she is—academically, emotionally, and socially. We focus on the whole person, building confidence while strengthening connections with teachers, parents, and peers.
Funds raised will also help provide essential tools—like laptops—to ensure every girl has what she needs to learn, grow, and thrive.
2. Gallery Gals (member favorite!)
An art-focused group for students passionate about creative exploration:
Gallery visits across the Hudson Valley
Museum trips throughout the region and beyond
Deep dives into art, artists, and culture
Upcoming summer visit to The Barnes Collection in Philadelphia, the Art Love Gallery in Cape Cod, and the School House Gallery in Provincetown.
Favorite destination: The Clark Institute.
Let’s raise our paddles for possibility, creativity, and confidence—thank you for making it all possible.
